So a coworker found these and bought one for use with the Mellanox and Brocade 1020 cards. These guys work pretty well as 10Gbit switches and everything works as long as you use Brocade cables. He bought some Brocade copper and that works well. He'll be testing out some Fiberstore optics later when they come in, but if they're programmed as Brocade, they should work as well.

Sub $700 for a lot of ports.. 24 10G ports for sure. I think the 8 FC can also be used somehow. I don't remember how much he BO'd for.
I think this may be the best deal for "relatively-cheap" 10GbE.
